Colin: LeBron is laying the foundation for his breakup with the Cavs

In a pre-NBA Finals interview with ESPN‘s Rachel Nichols, LeBron James revealed that he called the front office to voice his opposition to trading Kyrie Irving during the past offseason. He also described his often contentious relationship with Dan Gilbert as a “great working relationship,” and said “we’ll see” when asked if ownership will play a part in his ultimate offseason decision.

Today in The Herd, Colin said LeBron’s comments in the interview, and other recent examples examples sound a lot like someone in a relationship that’s laying the groundwork for his eventual break up. LeBron is notoriously cryptic on social media, but Colin thinks James’ comments are a clear signal he’s ready to break up with the Cavs.
